Digital camera reviews of PIONEER BDR-205BK 12X SATA Blu-Ray Writer Black Drive Bulk
Digital camera Review: A great computer upgrade!
Summary: 5 Stars
I swapped out one of the CD/DVD burners in my new Win 7 64 bit machine and popped in the speedy Pioneer 205. Windows 7 recognized and installed the drivers in seconds and it was good to go. Burns and plays CD, DVD and Blu-ray with absolutely no issues. Make sure you visit Pioneer's website to get the latest firmware update; the firmware was pretty elderly on the one I bought, although it worked perfectly without the update.
As others have said, the package contains no software, no rails, connectors or even screws. Since I was simply replacing another drive so I could burn Blu-ray disks, there was nothing to it. It's inexpensive, fast and reliable. Five stars!
